Smith led Warrington to Challenge Cup victories in 2009, 2010 and 2012, with the last two of those successes secured with final wins against Leeds, who have not lifted the trophy since 1999.

Sinfield, who missed out on a place in the team for the win over London Broncos at the old Wembley Stadium, is still looking for his first success in the competition.

The stand-off has been the losing captain in the final of the Challenge Cup on five separate occasions.

"The lads are in decent spirits. We didn't get the result we wanted against Bradford last Friday but we've regrouped now," he told BBC Look North.

"It hasn't been a great competition for us over the last few years but hopefully that will change.

"We can sit and dwell on it and be concerned about it or we can roll our sleeves up and get on with it. That is what we intend to do."

As part of a pilot scheme and in conjunction with the BBC Sport website, BBC Radio Manchester will be providing a live text service of their sports programme at www.bbc.co.uk/manchester on Saturday, 9 August from 14:00 BST.
